The SSD Review The Worlds Dedicated SSD Education and Review Resource |

A short time ago we did a review of the MemBlaze Pblaze7 7A40 Gen5 Enterprise SSD and this SSD contained  T-Head Zhenyue 510 (also known as TH7700) 16-channel Gen5 SSD controller, along with 8-pieces of YMTC Xtacking 3.0 (X3-9070) 232-layer 3D TLC NAND flash memory capable of running at up to 2400MT/s.  That SSD was a one drive write per …

If we look back several years, one couldn’t get an enterprise level SSD without direct company contact, and putting a face to business…maybe even with a firm handshake.  Things have changed and, as much as many might think easy access may be good or bad, we are seeing ‘off the shelf design’ far more often these days.  Right now, one …

These are the lowest 4/8 TB prices we have seen to date, and as such, they deserve a post! Right now at Amazon, the Lexar Play Gen4 SSD capable of speeds up to 7400MB/s read and 6500MB/s write are priced at an all time low $499.99 for the 8TB version and $219.99 for the 4TB version.  Believe it or not, …

This SSD is paired with the best components on the …

It’s funny how things come full circle. In many ways, The SSD Review is where it is today as a result of a close friend named Kent Smith way back in 2009. Kent worked for a company named Sandforce.  SandForce was an early pioneer of solid state drive controllers and, as coincidental as it may seem, SandForce’s SSD controllers contained …

Dapustor is a little known SSD manufacturing company that is based in China, was founded in 2016 and has a present workforce of over 400 members throughout the country.  It’s forte is high-end enterprise solid-state drives, SOC, and edge computing-related products and it presently holds in excess of 156 patents, which is to say they aren’t just another SSD component …

One might be inclined to think a company exudes confidence with respect to data storage when the first line in their product brief is, ‘The world’s fastest data center SSD’.  After all, storage speed these days, especially in the enterprise and data center world, is much more complex than a simple high throughput read and write or high read IOPS, …

Micron’s latest addition to the enterprise and data center market is the 7600 Gen5 SSD, offered in two variants. The 7600 PRO is optimized for read-intensive workloads like database queries or web servers, while the 7600 MAX, which we have on the test bench today, is engineered for mixed read/write applications. Although the PRO version offers higher maximum capacity, it …

We’ve accomplished something truly unexpected, and something we never imagined possible. Micron has generously provided us with two of their newly released, cutting-edge 1y LPDDR5X SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic  Random-Access Memory) mobile chips, giving us the opportunity to showcase the fastest, most power-efficient, and most compact memory package available in the world today. We’re always a bit amused when oversized packages …

There was a time when acquiring enterprise or data center SSDs meant going through a vendor rep, navigating complex configurations, and waiting for pricing. While that hands-on expertise still has its place, many businesses today simply want a fast, transparent, and frictionless way to get the hardware they need. With AI taking center stage across industries, this shift toward streamlined …

We have in our hot little hands the latest and greatest LaCie Rugged SSD4 and I am personally thinking this SSD may have been made just for me. My true love in life is wildlife photography and I have found myself in just about every weather condition and situations many would never. And yes I have been up a tree …

Patriot memory has been around since 1985 and were one of the early companies to have provided The SSD Review with an SSD sample for review.  It was the Patriot Torqx 2 SATA 2 128GB SSD and that was back on 14 May 2011…14 plus years ago. I reviewed that SSD and had to laugh when checking it out once …

As much as we may find the advance in technology to be somewhat miraculous over the years, perhaps the true wonder of such things is what we don’t see.  For instance, right now you have a smartphone that is more powerful than the PC you may have owned just a few years back. Perhaps you still own that PC. If …

In any environment, it is always nice to find a product that qualifies as one of those hidden gems you would never expect to find. With respect to travel, it may be a little known vacation spot.  Or it might be a local coffee shop that only a few know about in your town.  Or if you have recently bought …
